Början på ett mediakrig om mångkulturen?

Hungary’s foreign minister will propose that Budapest pull out of talks on a United Nations migration pact because the agreement could aid the flow of migrants to Europe and force countries to shelter them, Hungarian media reported.
[...]
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto was quoted by state news agency MTI as saying on Friday that the non-binding U.N. agreement could become part of international law, with national governments having to draft specific measures on its implementation.

The final text of the global migration pact “is entirely at odds with common sense, Hungary’s interests and the intent to restore European security,” Szijjarto was quoted as saying.

If Orban’s government approved Szijjarto’s proposal next week, Hungary would follow the United States, which quit talks on the pact in December due to concerns over its sovereignty.

President Donald Trump said on Friday that immigration was changing the culture and was “very negative” for Europe due to security risks, using similar language to Hungary’s Orban, who has refused to host any illegal migrants over those concerns.

"Soon the CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) will come to parliament for ratification and the majority will reject it," Di Maio told Italy's main farming union, the Coldiretti.

"Any Italian civil servants abroad who continue to defend lousy treaties like CETA will be removed," he added.

"Being here means, in my view, reclaiming a bit of healthy sovereignty," said Di Maio, who heads the populist, eurosceptic Five Star Movement.

"We must defend Italy and the Italian economy," he added.

The accord eliminates 98 percent of tariffs between the EU and Canada.

It needs to be ratified by all 28 members of the European Union in order to come into force.

Its opponents have long branded it as a danger to health, democracy and the rule of law.

So, regardless of the optimistic, heartening words being spoken into the microphones, negotiations on the fate of migrants Europe are at an impasse.

At some point the stalemate will be broken. There is too much pent-up force against the status quo for the current situation to continue indefinitely, but there’s no telling when the final resolution will come, nor what form it will take.

00:00 The atmosphere at the preliminary trilateral meeting of the Interior Ministers
00:04 of Germany, Austria and Italy appears to have been good.
00:07 On Thursday in Innsbruck, they showcased their will to cooperate on refugee policies.
00:12 Then, at the following informal meeting of all Interior Ministers of the EU,
00:16 according to the statement by the Austrian head of department, Herbert Kickl,
00:19 consensus was reached on pushing the protection of the shared outer borders.
00:24 In order to be able to do so, the border protection agency Frontex was to be strengthened,
00:28 and to receive the necessary mandate.
00:31 Moreover, there was a strong agreement that measures
00:34 needed to be taken in countries of origin and transit countries, including local border protection.
00:39 A system of incentives and sanctions needed to be established,
00:42 so that states would no longer refuse to take back their own citizens.
00:47 Concerning the planned so-called “debark platforms” for housing refugees in North Africa,
00:52 there is, according to Kickl, much common ground among the EU countries:
00:55 On the one hand, we have agreed that we have to establish the debark platforms
01:02 in such a manner that they are helpful in relations with the third countries.
01:09 Of course they are to be established in a manner that is legally correct,
01:15 according to the standards of both international and national law.
01:19 But the Foreign Minister of Luxembourg, Jean Asselborn,
01:22 clearly positioned himself against that on his arrival:
01:25 These centers outside Europe must not be a topic for civilized Europeans.
01:33 According to Kickl, the Interior Ministers also want to push work
01:37 on a common European system for asylum, and on the Dublin system;
01:40 at this point, however, this topic was locked in a stalemate.
01:43 German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer appeared satisfied with the course of the meeting:
01:48 We are at a crossroads.
01:52 Will we be able to win back the trust of the people, to the extent that
01:56 the great future project of Europe deserves?
02:02 In this respect, I think, today was a beautiful day.
02:07 Tonight, I will return to my homeland with a joyful heart.
02:16 The CSU chief again called the migration question “a fateful question for Europe”.

Varför är namnsdagar fortfarande ett så känsligt ämne? Erika Hallhagen uppmanar till storstädning i almanackan och erbjuder sig att släppa sin egen dag till Mohammed som är ett vanligare namn än Erika.

Okej. Vi kan enas om att det som feminismen behöver inte är fler förhållningsregler för kvinnor. Låt oss istället styra över fokus till den grupp som är i skriande behov av vägledning. Killar, här är tio nybörjarbudord för jämställt hemmabruk. Välj och vraka det som bäst passar din profil.

Erika Hallhagen beskriver hur hon efter sin föräldraledighet hade en riktig dipp över sakernas beskaffenhet, men då kom Lina Thomsgård in i hennes liv och grundade Rättviseförmedlingen.

”Hon höll sig på Internets avstånd, men ändå var det hon som stod där mitt i rummet och vevade energiskt med armarna. I stället för att hoppas på att tiden någon gång kommer ikapp bolagsstyrelser, expertpaneler, partiledningar och den egna umgängeskretsen visade Thomsgård att det går att forcera händelseförloppet.”, skriver hon.

Hon menar att så gott som alla delar i samhället idag använder sig av Rättviseförmedlingen för att bryta strukturer som bygger på kön eller etnicitet.
